Uganda: Incumbent MP Sseggona Fighting to Break Busiro East One-Term Cycle

5 February 2016

Wakiso — For some constituencies, Members of Parliament run in the confident belief that their mandate will be renewed for as long as they are still relevant owing to their performance and popularity while in others, the MPs are tested and allowed to serve for at least two or more terms. But in this particular constituency, Busiro East in Wakiso District, the voters have historically given their MPs just one chance and their tenure is never renewed.

It is on record that since 1996, the constituency has had different MPs whose tenure ends after five years. Busiro East is among about 40 constituencies considered to be one-term constituencies as evidenced in Bukomansimbi, Kooki County, Rubaga North, Rwampara, Bubulo West, and Kiboga East, among others.
